Alburquerque was designated for assignment Sunday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Alburquerque was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on May 10 but was ineffective in five relief appearances following his promotion. The 30-year-old allowed three earned runs on two hits and three walks over four innings of relief. Alburquerque has seven years of major-league experience, so there's a decent chance that he'll be claimed by another big-league club. If not, he'll be assigned back to Triple-A Omaha.
